Remember the days of hanging out with your family and playing hours of board games? Well, those days are back.

Last year, we all became plant people, and during that time many of us discovered that our inner green thumbs weren’t quite green.

Shoppers don’t have to miss out on becoming plant parents just because of that – crochet cactus and other faux options are the perfect gifts for people who want greenery in their lives, without having to worry about over-watering or sun placement.

So far this year, Etsy has seen a 41% spike in searches related to 'faux plants'.

In past years, mythical creatures like unicorns and mermaids have taken centre stage, but today it’s all about realistic (yet still exotic) creatures.

Animals like narwhals are especially popular. Other favourites include llamas and sloths – Etsy has seen over 1,456,000 searches related to 'llamas', a 289% increase compared to the same period last year, and 'sloths' have spiked 19%, too.
